Well it’s over. For now anyway, pending resits in March. I don’t want to dwell on it too much but for my own records there was a 2.5 hour paper of 27 short questions, and I totally missed out 3 of them because I ran out of time. I almost fainted when I realised that at the end of the paper – even writing one word on them could have got me a point – I could have answered them. Second paper was 1 hour of multiple choice, 54 questions. That went much better I think. At least I answered all the questions.
So yes, for the first time in my life I actually think I’ll fail and hope to pass. Usually I think I’ll pass and worry I’ll fail. Which isn’t actually me being cocky – if I know the answers and I know they’re right then fair enough – assuming I got over 50% is reasonable.
Arg. Anyway, the day ended up rocking – I met S and her friends in the Buttery (college bar) at about 4pm, and the drinks were very cheap 😉 After a couple of hours of chatting and drinking, we went to the Bing via L’s house – and L had some rather fabulous sloe gin. We decided it was in fact extremely sloe – initially very nice and warming it knocks you paralytic about 10 minutes later. And we had less than one glass between the four of us. Then onto the Bing for a slap up steak that none of us can remember (but I think it was fantastic, which is impressive for the Bing – usually they can’t cope with cooking steak anything other than well done). Plus it came with a free drink :blush: So yes, it was about 8pm by that point, I’d embarassed myself to two people already and spent the next 2 hours chatting cackling. Came home at about 10.30, and one of my housemates had donated a steak pie, which I duly cooked and ate. Fabulous evening!
I was planning on going shopping today, but I have to work out how to get my car back… we’re currently 3 miles and two bus rides apart. Or I could test my bike (and my balance) out… or I could worry about it later. That sounds good.
I’m freeeeee! And now I don’t know what to do…. We’ve decided it feels like we’ve been transported to Dec 15th with no warning and only 9 days to prepare for Christmas…
* To explain the title – Wobblers are dogs or horses with spine damage who go all wobbly. It was in my exam, it’s how I felt after my exam, it’s how I felt last night and it also sums up my skill level on my bike so it’s rather fitting all round really!
